Pregnancy journey

About: Health Visiting / Blantyre Lanarkshire Community Services / Community Maternity Care

(as a service user),

Pregnancy journey with my local health centre.  

Midwives: okay, nothing to write home about, kept you waiting ages and in my opinion were rude and opinionated. Say they have done something but never did, you had to stay on top of them and make sure stuff was done.

Health visitors: had your back, kind, welcoming, friendly and understanding. Are ok the families side.

Dear zebramx84,

My name is Danielle and I am one of the moderators here at Care Opinion.

It has been highlighted to us that we didn’t notify the community maternity care team of your story when it was originally published, therefore they have been unable to respond to your feedback about your experience with them.

Please accept our apologies regarding this, I’ve now notified the service who will respond soon.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch, you can email us here: moderators@careopinion.org.uk

Kindest regards,

Danielle
